S.GANAPATHYCell : 98401 50211

The public toilets in India aremostly abysmal, apathetic,awkward, inadequate and

unclean which poses a greathealth hazard and inconvenienceto the user-public. They invitecontageous diseases also. No cityin India have shown any urgencyand inclination for its importancewhich are grossly under- providedin terms of public toilets. Thesituation is so alarming whichneed urgent consistant action.

For instance, Chennai whichis a Metropolitan developed city,is in a great need of about 6000public toilets atleast to serve thecommunity at large having onecrore population and now serveonly a feeble 714 numbers. Theother city in India for instance,Nagpur has only 318 which is inneed of 3000 toilets approximately.Even the existing toilets are badlyand poorly maintained, badly lo-cated and hardly used. Thus thepersisting neglect has resulted inwoeful sanitary conditions.

Linfen, a developing Chinesecity is a significant lesson to In-dian cities. It shows convincinglythe public toilets are as critical andplay a dominant role such as alarge infrastructure project for anydeveloping city and make it live-able. Records show that Linfenwas one of the worst cities in theWorld to live in with bad publictoilets. But in the last four yearssince 2008, the city plannersconcised and formulated hun-dreds of public toilets which hasturned dramatically that impro-vised the very living conditionsof the communities. Its a greatpride and honour to Linfen thatrecently it has won the most pres-tigious “UN HABITAT’S INTER-NATIONAL BEST PRACTICESAWARD” for the whole Asia andPacific regions. This really made aToilet Revolution that made the

Toilet Revolution imperative!world wonder for this mammothfeat that attracted the global at-tention. The local Chinese gov-ernment sensing the urgencyand very much concerned bythe poor quality which had mere12 public toilets for its 6 lakhspopulation had retrofitted about200 modern toilets in and aroundthe city. They designed it smartand cozy that changed the pro-file of the city and the people’sperception where about 20 mil-lion people use them every year.

It is imperative and urgentto provide good toilets to the15 million urban households inthe city of Chennai whichshould be a top priority, equallyimportant to provide them atpublic places where people usemuch. It is one of the integralpart of the city’s civic amenitiesand any growing city need it ur-gently. Organisations likeSulabh International have madeexcellent strides to build lowcost and easy to maintain toi-lets in India.

The design have to radicallychange that turn this daily usepublic toilets into an object ofpride. Enhanced safety mea-sures, aesthetically pleasingcolours combined with betterlocations, good maintenance, re-cycle of the resources and anti-vandal fittings would betterserve our objectives. Thereshould be sufficient number oftoilets for women users , atpresent women suffer much todiscomforts due to paucity ofgood public toilets. Thereshould also be special needs forthe disabled to be addressedand accomadated. The localbodies should compel all roadbuildings and civic projects toallocate more space and othernecessary infrastructures withadequate funds allotments forthis great purpose.

The position prevailing inhighways in Tamilnadu is de-plorable, nauseating and pa-thetic since there are no properwell maintained public toilets inwhich millions of people use thehighways daily. Even chargesare levied, it is kept near verybad state of affairs, foul smell-ing forcing people not to use itbut instead use the open space.In countries like U.S.A, the gov-ernment has provided a cleanbeautiful toilets with multi-facili-ties that look like a kitchen withultra modern cafeteries and res-taurants around it. These aresituated for every 10 miles in thehighways for the use of publicwhich is exhilarating and a les-son to be learnt. In U.K., wherethe government pays private

establishments to keep their toiletsclean and open it for public use.What is needed is a scaled up andconcerted efforts to radicallychange and improve the status ofpublic toilets. An inclusive city be-gins with the public toilet. Thehealth and sanitation of the citywrests with its toilets and its moreurgent to provide in sufficient num-bers.

The recent announcement ofthe Chennai Corporation planningto build around 2000 modern pre-fabricated toilets which is more en-chanting news. It seems the schemeruns into rough weather as onlyone private party has come forwarddue to some disadvantages quot-ing no adequate water and sewer-age facilities and request corpora-tions fund-assistance in the matterwhich is quite reasonable. Thegovernment’s mandatory toiletmaintenance for 20 years is seemsto be too lengthy and can be cutshort to 10 years. There can be payand use category also for makingthe scheme viable. The Tamilnadugovernment should allocate morefunds and other infrastructural fa-cilities for expansion of public toi-lets at all important centres with awell thought-out plan for anavowed object of “CITY PRIDE”.There should be sufficient numberof toilets for women users andhandicapped people. The govern-ment can contemplate for a publicprivate partnership for easy fundsflow. The private establishmentscan also be roped in for improvingthe amenities by giving some taxconcessions. With dire, consist-ing determinations we can changethe horizon of the city to be moreliveable and enjoyable.

When will Chennai become an-other Linfen?
